GENERAL INFORMATION
FOUNDATION
1. The Municipal University of Akron was created by
an ordinance of the Akron City Council, passed on August 25, 1913. This ordinance accepted in behalf of the
city the offer of the Trustees of Buchtel College to give
to the city the entire plant and endowment of the ·college as the nucleus of a municipal university, the Council
promising in behalf of the city to support properly the
new institution thus created. After the transfer of property had been completed by President Kolbe and Secretary Olin for the Trustees of Buchtel College, Mayor
Rockwell on December 15, 1913, together with City Solicitor Taylor, accepted the deeds of transfer in behalf
of the city and appointed nine citizens of Akron as members of the Board of Directors of the Municipal University
of Akron.
Buchtel College, the institution thus turned over to the
city of Akron, was founded in 1870 by the Ohio Universalist Convention and took its name from its most generous benefactor, Hon. John R. Buchtel, who consecrated his life and his wealth to its support. It was
chartered by the Ohio Legislature in the same year as
a College of Liberal Arts and Letters and first opened its
doors for the admission of students in September, 1872.
By the terms of transfer to the City of Akron provision
was made that Buchtel College retain its name and identity
as Buchtel College of Liberal Arts of the Municipal
University.
The Municipal University of Akron, being supported
in large part by public taxation, is entirely non-sectarian.
16
UNIVERSITY OF AKRON
The City of Akron has, however, agreed to carry out all
provisions made by donors of funds to Buchtel College.
Such funds were given in most cases to establish professorships and scholarships in the College of Liberal
Arts.
AIM OF THE UNIVERSITY
As a representative of the new type of municipal institution, the University seeks to develop its units or
departments not in accordance with the historical meaning
of the term "University," i. e., into the four faculties of
Philosophy, Law, l\Iedicine and Theology, but rather into
such schools as may train the high school graduate in
various practical and technical callings. Generally speaking, the College of Liberal Arts will be used as the basis
for all the units or schools of the University. The College
of Liberal Arts will also continue to give the regular fouryear courses common to institutions of its kind.

The College of Engineering
(See page 100)
This College was opened in September, 1914, and
during its first year received only the entering or first
year class. Courses m various branches of engineering
are being developed.
The Curtis School of Home Economics
(See page 119)
Like the College of Engineering, the School of Home
Economics was opened to students in September, 1914. A
four-year course will be offered leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Home Economics.
The Department of Civic Co-Operation
(See page 141)
It is the intention of the Directors of the University
to bring its various schools into close touch with municipal activities andJ to assist the work of various city departments in every possible manner by expert advice
and service. Advanced students will be employed wherever possible in the activities of thisi department, receiving credit for work thus performed and gaining the additional advantage of a practical training in various phases
of municipal affairs.
COMBINATION COURSES
(See page 132)
To those who wish to enter the learned professions
such as law or medicine, the College of Liberal Arts
offers opportunities of combination with the various professional schools of the country. By means of such combination courses a student may receive both the Arts and
the professional degree, at the same time shortening by
one year the period otherwise necessary.

UNIVERSITY OF AKRON
EQUIPMENT
At the time of the foundation of Buchtel College in
1870 a plot of six acres of ground was purchased at the
outskirts of the village of Akron on a hill overlooking
the valley. The growth of the city has included this site
so that now the University campus lies at the head of
College Street, only a short distance from the business
center of the city.
In 1899 the old main building was destroyed by fire
and in 1901 Buchtel Hall was completed as the first of
a modern group of college buildings. From earlier times
there already existed on the campus the Observatory,
Crouse Gymnasium and the President's residence. Since
the completion of Buchtel Hall there have been constructed the building first known as Buchtel Academy,
and now used as an Engineering Building; the central heating plant; Curtis Cottage, used as the home of the School of
Home Economics; and the Knight Chemical Laboratory,
toward the construction of which Andrew Carnegie gave
$25,000.
BIERCE LIBRARY
The College Library had its origin in a collection of
works donated in 1874 by the late General L. V. Bierce.
During the early days of Buchtel College the Librfl,ry
was augmented by books purchased from the proceeds
of a bequest received from General Bierce's estate. In
recognition of this early gift the Library has been called
the Bierce Library. It embraces about 10,000 volumes, exclusive of public documents, and is at present located m
Buchtel Hall.
FUNDS, PRIZES AND SCHOLARSHIPS
The Katherine Claypole Loan Fund
This fund has been established by a number of women's organizations of the city and dedicated as a me-
UNIVERSITY OF AKRON
19
moria! to Mrs. Katherine Claypole, wife of Dr. E. W.
Claypole, former Professor of Natural Science at Buchtel.
Mrs. Claypole was the founder of organized women's work
in Akron and always manifested a deep interest in the young
people of the College.
The principal of the fund is loaned to students "who in
mid-term, as often happens, find themselves without
sufficient means to complete the year's work." Applications should be addressed to Mrs. C. W. Milliken,
Chairman Women's Committee, 396 East Market Street, or
to Mrs. E. F. Voris, Treasurer, 77 Fir Street.
The Ashton Prizes.
A fund consisting of $3,000 has been established by
the late Oliver C. Ashton, endowing the 0. C. Ashton
Prizes for excellence in reading and recitation.
The annual income of this fund will be paid, one-third
to competitors from the senior class, one-third to competitors from the junior class, and one-third to competitors from the sophomore class, in a first and second
prize to each class, in the proportion of two to one.
These are public exercises, and will take place at stated
times during the year.
The Senior Alumni Prize
A fund has been established by the Alumni Association for the purpose of awarding an annual cash prize of
$50.00 to that senior student in Buchtel College of Liberal Arts who has completed the regular four-year course
with the highest average grade. Only students who
have spent their entire course at Buchtel College are
eligible.
The Tomlinson Prizes
Thru the kindness of Rev. Irving C. Tomlinson, Class
of '80, of Boston, Mass., two prizes of $30.00 and $20.00
20
UNIVERSITY OF AKRON
respectively will be offered each year to those two students
of the University who present the best papers on the subject: "The Municipal University." The subject is to be
treated with especial reference to broadening the field and
increasing the usefulness of the University, to its true character as a municipal university, and to its value, and need
by the city.
Buchtel College Scholarships
(See pages 3i-35.)
A number of scholarships have been endowed by
friends of the College to aid worthy and deserving students. The donor of a scholarship may, at all times,
designate one student who shall be entitled to the remission
of a part of the tuition charges in the College of Liberal
Arts. Scholarship benefits will be limited to $50.00 per year
to any one student, and in the distribution of these scholarships by the University preference will be given to the immediate descendants of the donor, if the donor is deceased.
Students thus receiving scholarships may be called
upon to render services to the University for any part,
or all, of such aid. They will be expected to maintain
their standing in scholarship, and to conduct themselves
in accordance with the rules of the institution. A scholarship is granted with the expectation that the student
will complete his course of study at the University of
Akron, and, without a reason that shall be satisfactory
to the Directors, honorable dismissal will not be granted
until full tuition and all other college dues have been
paid.

Non-resident students, already registered during the
school year 1913-1914, will, by special act of the Board of
Directors, be allowed· to finish their courses on the basis of

EXPENSES FOR LIVING
Non-resident students at the University of Akron can
obtain a good room for $1.50 to $2.50 per week. The common price for a single room, occupied by one person, is $2.00
28
UNIVERSITY OF AKRON
per week; for a double room, occupied by two persons, $1.50
per person. The University maintains no dormitories, but
lists of rooms for men may be found at the general office.
All women attending the University are under direct charge
of the Dean of Women. No non-resident woman is allowed
to select a rooming place not on the approved list of the
Dean of Women. Non-resident women intending to enter
the University should write beforehand to Mrs. E. A.
Thompson, Dean of Women, who will gladly assist them in
obtaining suitable living quarters.
Board may be secured in private families (often in connection with room), in boarding houses near by or at the
Y. M. C. A. andY. W. C. A. A number of restaurants also
offer rates by the week. The usual price is from four dollars to five dollars per week.
The School of Home Economics serves a cafeteria
luncheon in Curtis Cottage every noon during the school
year.
SELF HELP
A large proportion of the men of the institution are self
supporting. Akron offers a great variety of work for men
students, such as clerking, soliciting, waiting on table, playing in orchestras, etc. The University maintains a Bureau
of Student Employment which helps new students in get~
ting work for odd hours, evenings and on Saturdays. The
demand for such student aid on the part of Akron citizens
is usually larger than the University can supply.
No student, however, should enter without sufficient
money for payment of term bills and for living expenses for
several months, since too much outside work often seriously
hampers the beginning of a college course,
'
.
UNIVERSITY OF AKRON
29
The opportunity for women in the matter of self help is
more limited. It consists largely of work during certain
hours of the day in private families in return for board and
room, clerking and, to a limited extent, work in offices or
libraries.
The University offers a number of student assistantships
in various departments to upper classmen. Such positions
pay, usually, $100 per year. All inquiries regarding self
help for men should be addressed to the Bureau of Student
Aid; for women, to the Dean of Women.

BUCHTEL COLLEGE
DESCRIPTION OF ENTRANCE UNITS
Following is a detailed statement of the requirements in
each of the various subjects that may be offered for admission to college :
ENGLISH, 3 Units
The requirements include the College Entrance Requirements in English, practically uniform thruout the United
States.
Three years, with five recitations a week, should be given
to preparation, the work in Rhetoric and Composition being
done simultaneously with the reading and study of the required English and American classics.
The applicant should bring a written statement from the
principal or superintendent of the school attended, stating
definitely the books read, and the amount of time given ( 1)
to Rhetoric and Composition and ( 2) to the reading and
study of the required classics.
The leading requirement, however, is the ability of the
student to express his ideas in his mother tongue, clearly,
forcefully, and accurately. Lacking this, his preparation to
enter college is very inadequate, no matter how many books
he may have read, or how much time he may have given to
English in the grammar school and the high school.
MATHEMATICS AND ASTRONOMY
Algebra and Plane Geometry are required for entrance
into all courses. Solid Geometry is required for entrance to the scientific course. Astronomy may be offered
as one of the electives in any course, but it is required in
none,
BUCHTEL COLLEGE
Algebra,
I, I/2
39
Units
The work in Algebra should include the following subjects: fundamental operations, factors, multiples, fractions,
simple equations, methods of elimination, problems, interpretation of solutions, involution, evolution, surds, exponents,
complex numbers, quadratic equations, theory of quadratic
equations, simultaneous quadratics, binominal theorem for
positive integral exponents, ratio, proportion, variation,
series and logarithms.
It is suggested that the time spent in preparing to meet
this requirement be five 55-minute periods per week for a
year and a half. It is further suggested that the work of
the last half-year be done late in the preparatory school
course in order that there may be close and ready articulation with the required mathematics of the freshman year in
college. It is especially desirable that the student come to
his college work with habits of neatness and accuracy well
formed, and that he have some sense of mastery over so
much of mathematics as he may have studied.
Geometry,
I, I/2
Units
Plane and Solid Geometry. The set propositions required
are those found in the older text books. Among the topics
required may be mentioned: plane rectilinear figures; the
circle and the measure of angles; similar polygons; areas,
regular polygons ; the measure of the circle, the relation of
lines and planes in space; the properties and measure of
prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and cones; the sphere, and the
spherical triangle.
From the demonstration of many original propositions and
the solution of many original problems, the student should
have gained a fair degree of confidence in his own ability
to build up a geometrical proof. Accuracy of statement and
elegance of form are to be emphasized.
40
BUCHTEL COLLEGE
It is suggested that the time spent in preparing in Geometry be one and one-half school years, and that the work
of the last half-year come in the third or fourth year of the
preparatory course.
Astronomy, I/2 Unit
A thoro knowledge of the fundamental facts and prin-·
ciples of Astronomy is required. Familiarity with so much
of the science as is contained in Young's Elements of Astronomy will suffice.
FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Latin. I, 2, 3 or 4 Units
Four units of at least four recitations a week are required

COURSES OF STUDY
Three courses of study, each requiring 128 term hours
for graduation, are offered in Buchtel College: the Classical, Philosophical and Scientific (for terms of admission
to these courses see page 35).
The studies of the freshman year are definitely assigned
and required in each course. At the end of the freshman
year the student is asked to indicate to the Committee on
Classification whatever line of work he may \vish to pursue.
This subject is then known as the ''major." Each major
brings with it a number of required "minor" subjects, as
indicated in the description of the various courses of study.
All major and minor work must be beyond the student's
freshman requirements. Twenty-four term hours above
the freshman year is the minimum requirement for a major,
a term hour being a study carried one hour per week
through one semester. All work beyond the freshman year
and outside of the major and minor requirements is elective, 16 hours per semester being counted as regular work.

DEGREES
The degree of Bachelor of Arts will be conferred on
students who have completed the Classical Course.
The degree of Bachelor of Philosophy will be conferred on those who have completed the Philosophical
Course.
The degree of Bachelor of Science will be conferred on
those who have completed the Scientific Course.
THESIS
A thesis showing original research by the student may be
presented for graduation. It shall be taken in the subject
chosen as the student's major, and shall count for two term
hours if carried satisfactorily beyond the regular class-room
work. The thesis must be handed to the instructor in charge
on or before the beginning of the senior vacation.
BUCHTEL COLLEGE
51
Master's Degree
The degree of A. M. may be conferred upon those who
have acquired the degree of A. B. or Ph. B., and the degree of M. S. upon those who have acquired the degree of
B. S. These degrees may be granted in not less than
two years after graduation, unless the applicant, in residence, can devote his entire time to the work, when the
degrees may be granted in one year. At least one year
of residence is required of all candidates for a Master's
Degree.
The candidate must accomplish the equivalent of a full
college year's work of thirty-two term hours, choosing his
subjects as Majors and Minors, twenty-four of which must
be in the Major field.
In the Minor, the work may be partly unduplicated undergraduate, but the applicant will be expected to carry it
beyond the lines of usual college work. In the Major, the
work must be confined to graduate subjects and methods,
and in this a satisfactory thesis must be presented which
will give evidence of original work in the investigation of
some new field rather than of a mere re-statement of what
is already known. The subjects and methods must have
received the sanction of the instructors in the departments
chosen.
An examination will be required in both subjects.
A candidate for either of these degrees at any given
commencement must present his thesis and report for examination not later than June 1st.

This has been planned as a general course and will not require work in Greek or Latin. It will consist largely of lectures. There will be a short introduction setting forth the
relation of Greek Art to the Art of Egypt, Assyria and
Phenicia, and this will be followed by a discussion of the
various periods and schools of Greek Sculpture and the more
important artists. The subject will be illustrated by photographs and lantern-slides. Richardson's Greek Sculpture
will be made the basis of the course, and some collateral
reading in histories of art will be required. The ability to
read German, tho not absolutely necessary, will be decidedly advantageous. Note-books of the students will be
examined by the instructor from time to time.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION
MR. HAGGERTY, DIRECTOR.
Physical education is conducted under the direct supervision of an experienced physical director, who is a member
of the college faculty. He is assisted by an associate director for women. The main floor of the gymnasium ( 80
by 50 feet) is well equipped with modern gymnastic apparatus. It is used by the men on Monday, Wednesday,
and Thursday, and by the women on Tuesday and Friday
afternoons.
College students of the three upper classes desiring to
specialize as coaches or instructors in certain sports, games,
or events, may do so by conferring with the physical di-'
rector.
The aims of the department are to develop organic power,
the basis of vitality, the prerequisite to physical and mental
efficiency ; to secure and maintain good posture, a harmonious muscular development, and a certain degree of bodily
skill and grace.
A thoro physical examination is given, and measurements taken of all male students on entering and also on
leaving the University. Physical defects, abnormalities, and
weaknesses are noted, and judicious, healthful exercise is
prescribed to fit the student's individual needs; this may
include athletic sports or remedial gymnastics.

PHYSICAL TRAINING FOR MEN
MR. HAGGERTY.
All first-year men are required to take the following work,
beginning September, 1914: 32 hours of out-door work;
24 hours in-door class work; 8 hours lecture work, (hygiene,
dietetics and exercises).
For this work they are to receive one hour credit.
The gymnasium is one hundred feet in length and fifty
feet in width. On the ground floor are locker rooms and
bath rooms. Above is the practice floor where exercises are
conducted. Directly over the practice floor is the running
track.
A four acre athletic field is provided for the use of the
men students, and all intercollegiate and other games and
meets are held there. The field is equipped with a grandstand, dressing rooms, cinder running track, baseball diamonds, and football fields with bleachers to accommodate
4000 spectators.
The intercollegiate sports are under the government of
the faculty committee appointed by the President, and a
Board of Control consisting of members from the faculty
and representatives of the student body elected by the
students.
A limited number of intercollegiate games are scheduled
subject to the approval of the faculty.
The Athletic Association is honored by the gift of the
Medal presented by Mr. Frank Talbot Fisher, of New York,
and also by his very generous donation of prizes for the
Track Meet. They consist of two cups of the value of $50
each and a Medal, and are given under the following conditions:
94
BUCHTEL COLLEGE
The Individual Cup is to be awarded to the athlete making
the greatest number of points in the Track Meet, and must
be won by him three years in succession in order to become
his permanent property.
The Class Cup is the permanent property of the Athletic
Association and is to be competed for by classes each year.
An honorary position upon the cup is awarded the name of
the class scoring the greatest number of points in each annual Track Meet.
The medal is to be given to the athlete scoring the greatest
number of points, and at once becomes his personal possession. One such Medal is to he offered for each annual
Track Meet.
The Individual Cup and the Medal are open to all bona
fide students. The Class Cup is open to the four classes.
The annual Track Meet to compete for these prizes will
be held early in June of each year.

MRS. CARPENTER.
The regular work in physical training for women will
begin about the middle of November and will continue
for eighteen weeks. The work is required of all first year
students, and may be elected by others.
The course will include gymnastics, dancing, and athletics.
On certain afternoons, the exclusive use of the gymnasium is reserved for women. Athletic sports, in basket
ball and lawn tennis, are encouraged.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The College of Engineering was established by the Directors of the Municipal University in 1914. Applicants
are assigned to shop work in July and accepted as stud~nts in September.
A five-year co-operative course in engineering, patterned
after the "Cincinnati Plan," has been adopted.
The "Cincinnati plan" requires the practice of engineering to be learned under actual commercial conditions, and
the science underlying this practice to be taught in the University by trained educators. Its aim is to give the student
a thoro training in both the theory and the practice of
engineering. The students are grouped in two sections,
one of which is at work and the other in attendance at the
University. Thus, during any bi-weekly period, one-half
the students are at the University and one-half are in the
shops. At the end of the period, those who were at the University go to the shops, and those who were in the shops go
to the University.
Five years of eleven months each are required to complete the course. Each student is allowed a vacation of one
week at Christmas time and three weeks in the latter part
of the summer.
The number of students that can be accepted in the fall
of 1915 is limited both by the positions open in the factories
of Akron and by the facilities of the University; therefore,
applications for admission should be filed with the Dean of
COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
101
the Engineering College before July 1, 1915. Students applying after that date will be admitted if any positions remain open, or if any vacancies occur due to resignations.
While a student is at work, he is subject to all the rules
and regulations imposed by his employer upon the other
employees. All existing labor laws and conditions, including those pertaining to liability for accident, apply to the
student the same as to any other employee.
In order to operate a co-operative course in engineering,
the Engineering College must be located in or near an industrial center. There are over six hundred colleges and
universities in the United States, and less thim fifty of them
are so located that such a course is practicable. Akron is
essentially a manufacturing center, and the President and
Directors of the Municipal University of Akron selected this
type of engineering education as being the latest and the
one best adapted to the city's needs. No other courses in
engineering will be offered.
SHOP WORK
The Dean of the College of Engineering and the employer so plan the work that the student gets a carefully
graded training beginning with work requiring no skill or
experience and ending with actual engineering work.
The shop work and the University work will be co-ordinated by a technically trained man, experienced in shop
practice. Thruout the five years of University work he
will give courses whose aim is twofold. First, they supple-
102
COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
rnent the shop training by explaining the different operations,
the sequence of work, the technicalities of the machines, and,
in short, any part of the work which the student does not
understand, and which the shop foreman has not time to
explain. This shows the student the vast educational opportunities open to him in his shop work and makes him
more useful to his employer. Secondly, these courses cover
the field of factory organization and cost accounting, routing of work for efficient production, study of the conditions
leading to maximum production, and the influence of shop
environment. The instruction given in all the courses is
_carefully planned to develop in each student the power of
observation and the ability to analyze the problems arising in
his work.
The shop work, properly co-ordinated with the University training, furnishes a large part of the technical ~etail
required in engineering subjects.
WAGES
Engineering students are paid for their work in the shops
at the same rate as other employees. Beginners will be paid
a little more than apprentices and will be increased according to a rate agreed upon by the employer and the Dean of
the Engineering College. Specific information will be given
applicants previous to the beginning of their work. Students _are paid only for the time actually employed in the
shops, and receive their wages direct, the same as any other
employee.
COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

ADMISSION
Candidates for admission must be at least sixteen years
of age, and must present fifteen units of secondary school
work.
Students will be admitted with entrance conditions
amounting to not more than one unit. Such conditions must
be removed during the freshman year.

COURSES OF STUDY
The courses of study given in the Engineering College
will be of the same grade as those required in any recognized technical institution. The student will be required to
maintain good standing in both his shop and University
work, and the work in both places will be so planned that
he will be equipped at graduation to enter the field of practical engineering at once without further preliminary training by his employer.

will be written under the direction of the English Department. These reports will be criticized by the Engineering
Department for contents and by the English Department
for language. The written work will be supplemented by
conferences and lectures. This work will continue thruout the five years of the course, the object being to finally
impress the student with the fact that his language, in reports, recitations, examinations, etc., is always under the
criticism of the English Department. The work will receive
one hour of credit per semester.
In addition to English Composition a six-hour course in
English Literature will be given during one semester of the
third year.

AT THE UNIVERSITY OF AKRON
A combination may be made between the Arts and Home
Economics Courses by which degrees may be obtained from
both schools in a minimum period of five years. This may
best be accomplished by spending four years in the Curtis
School of Home Economics and an additional year in the
College of Liberal Arts. If such combination course be
desired the elective work in the fourth year must be shaped
toward the fulfillment of the major and minor requirements
in the College of Liberal Arts.
An arrangement is also possible by which the student
may spend three years in the College of Liberal Arts and
two years in the Curtis School of Home Economics, receiving both degrees. Those planning this combination should
consult the Classification Committee at the beginning of the
sophomore year in order that the subjects to be taken may
be definitely determined, according to the major subject
chosen.
WITH THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
By special arrangement concluded with the Ohio State
University on January 27, 1914, The University of Akron
is enabled to offer combination courses in its own College
of Liberal Arts with certain professional schools of the
State University. By means of such a course, the student is enabled to shorten by one year the six to eight
year period otherwise necessary for the acquirement of
both college and professional degrees and training. Generally speaking, the plan contemplates an attendance of
2.
COMBINATION COURSES
133
three years at the University of Akron with an additional
two or three years (depending on the subject chosen) at
the State University. During the fourth year of his course
( i. e., the first year at the State University) the student is
counted as a senior in absentia by the University of Akron
and at the end of this year returns to receive his Bachelor's
degree with his class.
The following combinations have been arranged:
THE ARTS-LAW COMBINATION COURSE
This course comprises a total of six years, three years
at the Municipal University of Akron and three years at
the Law School of the Ohio State University. At the
end of four years the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Philosophy is conferred by the University of
Akron for the satisfactory completion of 128 term hours
of work. At the end of six years the student may become a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Laws at
the Ohio State University.

By arrangement concluded on February 2, 1914, a combination course has been established between the University
of Akron and Western Reserve Medical School.
The completion of this course requires seven years, the
first three of which are to be spent at the University of
Akron and the last four at Western Reserve University.
At the end of four years, the degree of Bachelor of
Science will be conferred by the University of Akron and
at the end of seven years, the degree of Doctor of Medicine will be given by Western Reserve University.
General Requirements in Buchtel College of Liberal Arts
No student is eligible for the Combined Arts-Medicine Course who has not been a resident student at the
1.
COMBINATION COURSES
137
University of Akron for at least three years and who has
not gained at least 96 term hours credit in Buchtel
College.
2. No student shall be eligible for a degree from Buchtel
College of Liberal Arts in the combined Arts-Medicine
Course who has not received sufficient credit at the Western
Reserve University to complete a total of 128 term hours
of work.
3. The Faculty of Buchtel College reserve the right to
refuse to recommend for the combined course any candidate who has, in their opinion, not maintained a standard of
good scholarship.

138
COMBINATION COURSES
(If one year of high school physics has been presented
for college entrance, then one-half of the above ~ollege
physics will fulfill the requirements.)
(C) Biology; Zoology and Botany: The equivalent
of at least one year of collegiate work of a value of not
less than 8 term hours, of which at least 2 (or 4) shali
be laboratory work, and the total instruction shall be not
less than 192 hours.
(D) German or French: A total of not less than 9
term hours, all in one of these subjects. One unit of high
school work may be counted as 3 term hours of this requirement, but at least 6 term hours shall be collegiate work.
All of the requirements indicated above may be fulfilled
in a space of three years. The following plan is suggested:
First Year: Regular Freshman Scientific Course.
Second Year: Zoology and Botany, 8 hours, Physics
with Lab., 12 hours, German or French sufficient to make
with freshman work a total of at least 9 term hours.
(This completes the requirements made lJy the Medical
School. The remainder of time should be given to the
completion of the major and minor requirements of
Buchtel College.)
4· COMBINATION COURSES WITH OTHER
SCHOOLS
With Medical Schools
The University of Akron will enter into combination
courses with any of the Medical Schools in the A Plus class,
as fixed by the standards of the American Medical Association. These schools are: Leland Stanford, University of
California, Yale, Northwestern University, Rush, Indiana
University, University of Iowa, Tulane, Johns Hopkins,*
*Johns Hopkins requires a college degree for entrance.
COMBINATION COURSES
139
Harvard, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota,
Washington University, University of Nebraska, Columbia,
Cornell, University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College
of New York, Syracuse University, University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University, Reserve, Jefferson Medical College, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh,
Vanderbilt University, University of Texas, University of
Virginia.
With Other Professional and with Technical Schools
The University of Akron is willing to give the opportunity for combination courses with any graduate or professional school of the first class. In making such combinations, the University of Akron will insist on the fulfillment
of the general requirements of three years' residence at
Akron, the completion of 96 term hours there and of a total
of 128 term hours for graduation-also of the completion
of all required majors and minors.
While the University of Akron maintains a College of
Engineering with five year courses on the co-operative plan
(Cincinnati plan), yet the College of Liberal Arts will
gladly offer opportunity to students who desire to enter
upon a combination course with regular four year technical schools. Such a course usually requires five years'
time, three years at the University of Akron and two years
at the technical school. In these combination courses, however, the degree of the University of Akron is not given
until the end of the fifth year.
Students are warned against haphazard work in Buchtel College of Liberal Arts with the yague idea that a
course chosen at random can be combined with any professional school to which their inclination may later direct them. The choice of school with which the com-
140
COMBINATION COURSES
bination is desired should never be delayed beyond the
close of the freshman year. The committee on Classification is at all times ready to be of assistance to students
in making combinations with reputable professional and
technical schools.
CIVIC CO-OPERATION
141
CIVIC CO-OPERATION
The work in Civic Co-operation has been undertaken
for the purpose of bringing the University in all its departments into close touch with the activities of the city of
Akron. The Directors of the University feel that an institution of higher learning, supported in large part by municipal taxation, should give freely to the city all possible
practical aid by means of its instructors and equipment.
This help is meant to supplement and guide the work of
such city departments (or even private enterprises) as
may find expert or technical advice of value in conducting
their activities.
While the work of Civic Co-operation is not primarily
organized for the purpose of teaching, yet one of its main
objects will be to bring students into contact with the work
of the city and to train them along various lines of practical usefulness to the community. Whenever possible, the
actual problems of civic life and administration will be substituted in the various courses for purely theoretical work,
since the University considers this training as one of the
most important branches of its activity.
DIVISIONS OF CO-OPERATIVE WORK
The work properly falls under two heads.
I.
Special organizations or Bureaus.
II. Co-operative work by yarious departments of the
University.
CIVIC CO-OPERATION
142
I.
SPECIAL ORGANIZATIONS
The Bureau of City Tests
A. E. HARDGROVE, B. S., DIRECTOR.
In accordance with a proposal made by the Directors of
the University and accepted by the Akron City Council, the
University has assumed entire charge of the testing work
of the city. This work covers chemical and physical tests
for various city departments and bacteriological tests for
the Board of Health and the Water Department.
The Bureau is located in the Knight Chemical Laboratory
and will co-operate with the Department of Chemistry in
bringing students in advanced courses in chemistry into
touch with city work by giving them the actual problems
of the city for solution as a part of their regular class work.
The Bureau will also ofier a course in bacteriology in the
School of Home Economics.
THE BUREAU OF INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH
CHARLES KNIGHT, A. M., SC. D., DIRECTOR.
K. DOLBEER SMITH, B. S.
This Bureau, which has been in operation for less than
one year, has been engaged in work along both chemical
and physical lines. The scope of its activities includes
the solution of problems of general civic interest and those
submitted by manufacturers and private individuals. To
these a small charge is made, covering time and materials.
Beside working out problems of several small manufacturing concerns and private individuals, the Bureau has
taken up work of general interest to the laundries of the
city. It is the plan of the Bureau to take up the problems
of the other various industries which are represented in
the city and vicinity.
CIVIC CO-OPERATION
143
It is believed that co-operation along these lines will be
of benefit not only to the city at large, but also to individuals and small manufacturers whose business does not
warrant the establishment of a private laboratory.
II.
CO-OPERATIVE WORK BY DEPARTMENTS
OF THE UNIVERSITY
Under the joint direction of the Head of the Department
of Economics and Political Science and the Director of
City Charities, work has been carried out by University
students in investigating housing conditions in Akron's congested districts. Such work is counted as laboratory practice in certain courses offered by the above department. The
results are tabulated by the card system and submitted to
the Board of Health, which has requested that a complete
survey of the city be made in this manner. The Board of
Health has found the information thus gained to be of
practical value in directing the work of its inspectors and of
the Building Inspection Department and has added to the
value of student workers by conferring on them the legal
powers of sanitary inspectors.
During the present year practical co-operative work is
being carried on by students under the direction of the
University in Boys' Club work and the teaching of
foreigners. Certain research problems are also being undertaken for the United States Department of Labor.
At the request of the Akron City Council the College
of Engineering has undertaken an examination of the city
paving system and has issued a report on the subject
(Akron Pavements, 74 pp. Fred E. Ayer, Dean of the
College of Engineering.) The work embraces reports on
the present condition, cost and durability of the pavements
of the City of Akron ; the advisability of adopting the di-
144
CIVIC CO-OPERATION
rect method of pavement construction; the cost and
adaptability to various class~;; of traffic of the different
pavement types now in general use.
The College of Engineering is also carrying on its cooperative system of training engineers in many of the
factories of the city.
Various departments of the University have established
courses of particular interest to citizens or have opened to
the general public work of this nature already offered.
Among others are courses in Sociological Problems with
field work, Current Events, Municipal Hygiene and Sanitation, and work in Home Economics.
Several members of the Faculty have co-operated as individuals with city interests, as for example in supervising
the playground work of the city, serving on joint committee with Council members in probing food prices, directing amateur athletics, heading Community Christmas movement, taking charge of yard inspection in city fly campaign,
and addressing various civic organizations. Students have
been encouraged to interest themselves in similar activities
and a number have undertaken the work of playground
supervisor, pavement inspector, director of boys' clubs in
grade schools, teacher of foreigners, assistant in work
of Bureau of City Tests, etc.
